New York Metro Parents Merges with New York Family

New York Family is growing, and when the opportunity for New York Metro Parents to become part of New York Family was raised, we were all in. We are excited to expand our New York (Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx) reach with coverage in Staten Island, Long Island and build more community base stories for our Westchester and Rockland communities.

And there is the keyword… community. We do this because we are parents, and we get it, and we want our readers to be fully informed as this is a huge key to parenting our kids, having the information, and making choices. So whether it’s having the latest news on what affects your school community to the best hot chocolate spots in the city (and more!), we got this, and we are here for you.

Treehouse Shakers

Branching OUT centers on discovering and exploring one&rsquo;s story and identity through an intentionally artist-led format. During our community-based program, young people will explore and reflect on their own story to create a larger, more meaningful experience, while gaining self-empowerment and gathering with like-minded peers. Through the guidance of our awarded teaching artists, young people will create narratives that will be turned into podcasts, dances, songs or poetry.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>Young people have the opportunity to learn new art forms, work with professional artists, while building a meaningful community.</div>
